I...I too have to contend with cold winter weather. It was 9 yesterday with snow expected this afternoon. Not as cold as your conditions but is not too balmy. I usually wear this sort of thing and consider it to nice looking but not high fashion: heavy tights, boots and a turtleneck dress with a wool coat. Many variations such as sweater, skirt, pants. If it's really cold, long underwear under it all. Some very colorful jewelry spices it all up. Same for pants, long underwear at all times. My best winter fashion investment were those boots, very expensive but I've now had them for 15 years. They get a layer of sno-seal each winter! As for ski pants, they are quite warm but are noisy, like taffeta. Have you tried "The Rain Shed" for patterns? They have a lot of outdoor fabrics and great patterns. Maybe you could find ski wear there.yarndivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132680063667909853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432018953404985645.post-80377793563450168532012-01-18T20:08:10.942-06:002012-01-18T20:08:10.942-06:00Yeah, I'm not baring my shoulder in these temp...Yeah, I'm not baring my shoulder in these temps, even indoors. I live in layers in the winter (summer too, actually, but less so!), mostly because it's usually too cold to not to, but also because some places over compensate with the heat, and then you freeze. :/ Don't have an answer for you. I think we either have to suck it up or choose warmth over fashion for a couple months until the bitterness (and I don't just mean the cold) warms up and melts in the spring. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477887672613694373noreply@blogger.com
